VBET leak: ownership structure and ties in Ukraine

In the case of VBET, the CasinoSecrets leak turned out not to be very generous. Sometimes the documents confirm exactly what was already known, and that is a result too.

The international VBET is managed by Radon B.V., registered in Curaçao and existing since 2012. Its owner is listed as Armenian citizen Rudolf Pogosyan. He is also named as the beneficiary of the Ukrainian “VBET UKRAINE.”

The numbers are a bit more complicated. In 2022 the turnover of Radon was €350,8 million. In 2023 it was €11,8 million, and in 2024 it was €19,5 million. The CasinoSecrets documents do not allow for a definitive explanation of such a change. Therefore the difference of €339 million between two adjacent years will have to remain unexplained for now.

The Ukrainian VBET is owned by Cyprus-based UCR Holding Ltd. Its beneficiary is also listed as Pogosyan. Thus, the official structure is fairly consistent: Pogosyan owns the international operator and is listed as the ultimate owner of the Ukrainian business.

Some complication starts with the fact that Svetlana Loboda’s common-law husband, Artur Grants, is attributed with the actual ownership of the Ukrainian VBET casino. He denies this, claiming he only helped launch the company in Ukraine. These statements are quite compatible: helping someone start a business does not necessarily mean owning that business.

The first director of the Ukrainian VBET was Georgy Givishvili. He was then replaced by Oleksandr Blokhin. Before VBET, both ran LLC “UYAVI!” — the publisher of Forbes Ukraine, which is owned by Grants.

That, too, does not prove anything by itself. People sometimes change jobs, and two people can sequentially move from one company of an owner to another company that the owner, according to him, does not own.

In the CasinoSecrets documents, Grants’s name does not appear among the owners or managers of Radon B.V. Therefore the leak does not confirm the version that he owns the international VBET.

It only leaves the previous picture: on paper VBET belongs to Pogosyan, Grants helped launch his Ukrainian business, and two people from Grants’s company took turns managing that business.

That does not make Grants the owner of VBET. Nor does it make him a complete outsider.

Слив VBET: структура собственности и связи в Украине

В случае с VBET утечка CasinoSecrets оказалась не слишком щедрой. Иногда документы подтверждают именно то, что было известно раньше, и это тоже считается результатом.

Международным VBET управляет зарегистрированная на Кюрасао Radon B.V., существующая с 2012 года. Ее владельцем указан гражданин Армении Рудольф Погосян. Он же значится бенефициаром украинской «ВБЕТ УКРАЇНА».

С цифрами несколько сложнее. В 2022 году оборот Radon составлял €350,8 млн. В 2023-м — €11,8 млн, в 2024-м — €19,5 млн. Документы CasinoSecrets не позволяют однозначно объяснить такое изменение. Поэтому разницу в €339 млн между двумя соседними годами придется пока оставить без объяснения.

Украинский VBET принадлежит кипрской UCR Holding Ltd. Ее бенефициаром также указан Погосян. Таким образом, официальная конструкция довольно последовательна: Погосян владеет международным оператором и указан конечным владельцем украинского бизнеса.

Некоторая сложность начинается с того, что гражданскому мужу Светланы Лободы Артуру Гранцу приписывают фактическое владение украинским казино VBET. Сам он это отрицает, утверждая, что всего лишь помогал запускать компанию в Украине. Это вполне совместимые утверждения: помогать человеку открыть бизнес еще не означает владеть этим бизнесом.

Первым директором украинского VBET стал Георгий Гивишвили. Затем его сменил Александр Блохин. До VBET оба руководили ООО «УЯВИ!» — издателем Forbes Ukraine, принадлежащим Гранцу.

Это также само по себе ничего не доказывает. Люди иногда меняют работу, а два человека вполне могут последовательно перейти из одной компании одного владельца в другую компанию, к которой этот владелец, по его словам, отношения собственника не имеет.

В документах CasinoSecrets имя Гранца среди владельцев или руководителей Radon B.V. не появляется. Поэтому утечка не подтверждает версию о его владении международным VBET.

Она лишь оставляет прежнюю картину: по документам VBET принадлежит Погосяну, Гранц помогал запускать его украинский бизнес, а руководить этим бизнесом по очереди пришли два человека из компании Гранца.

Собственником VBET это Гранца не делает. Совсем посторонним человеком — тоже.

Jensen Huang, head of Nvidia, which controls about 90% of the AI-accelerator market for data centers, has found himself at the center of a spy scandal.

Zelensky, belatedly commenting on the Khimprom scandal, this time refrained from his usual “I didn’t know.” Instead he immediately promised to make Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) employees declare their assets. Yet Burkin’s operation also involved police officers and the entire top of the Prosecutor General’s Office, who have long been filing declarations. And so—did that really prevent them from servicing the drug cartel? But the most interesting part is the geography of the president’s stat...
